How big of an issue is this gonna be

I was going to say .018 is the number in my head. I'm sure some of the real engine builders will chime in as to what their max allowable is. Seems pretty loose to me...
I feel better although Id still like to have it tighter, these guys say nowadys it .035 plus right out of the box.
